Hey, not sure where this actually fits, but I felt the need to write a condensed version for the Megatokyo / Story page ... pls don't shoot me if this does not belong here

v5.0 : yet another attempt at more condensed resume. Looks like it now could condense to less than a page of text, if excessive gap lines are removed, but not doing it here for to not turn it into a wall of text. Added bold to the title so it's more apparent where the changelog ends, and text starts.

v4.0 : attempt at slightly more non-linear condensation

V3.0+ : changed title as suggested by Sackett, thanks!

v3: All the while, it was much much too long. It's supposed to be condensed ... contributions to condense more are welcome
(previous version will be re-posted as a reply in this thread)

v2: tweaks and paragraphs by Ningen, thank you!
also added : lost line about Yuki reading the chat logs, removed in v2.1, redundant.
also s/bouncers / Kenji and Komugiko

Now with added paragraphs and a few tweaks. Feel free to use or discard as you see fit.

While Ping was sleeping, Largo added a cell-phone Internet connection to one of her earpads, and tweaks to the translation module, dissatisfied with quality of translation.

Piro talks with Kimiko on the phone and sets up a meeting with her during lunch time, then sets off when Erika arrives at the store.

Erika warns Largo that she intends to not be late for the evening with the Sonoda family. Largo sets off to school.

Piro and Kimiko start talking about possibly getting Piro a job at Lockart, but Ping interrupts their conversation to ask him (again) about Miho. In the presence of Kimiko Piro contains his anger, and tries to calm Ping down instead but fails.

Kimiko notices his expressions, and tries to clarify his view of Miho, but is interrupted by a member of Nanasawa Protection Coalition, hinting at her duty to go back to work. While departing, she sets the proposition to Piro, to work on his portfolio tonight.

Largo actually arrives at the school on time. Junko is called out to the head office, and on the way there, she meets Ping. Junko isn't impressed with how Ping's body and hair changed again. In the office, they meet Junko's father, who announces to her, that he's been let to work on a position he was trying to fill in for years, and he wants to borrow money. He notices Ping, and makes remarks about her purpose.

Fast forward to the end of Largo's lesson, Ping is asking a number of students about Miho, and is dismayed by the fact, that barely anybody seems to remember her, even though she's been missing for only 9 days. An encounter between Largo, Junko and Ping is disrupted by Ping's translation module still malfunctioning after Largo's 'reference material' overload.

Junko is appalled by how Largo treats Ping, as she (still) thinks, that Ping is the woman he's attracted to. Junko storms off, and Ping follows, trying to explain, but fails.

Distracted by Ping following, Junko almost ends up driven over by a delivery scooter. Ping rescues her by smashing the vehicle with a power pole. When Ping puts the pole back in its place, Junko sees Yuki running back home from school over the roofline.

Yuki is running because Meimi called her, having trouble with the shrunk Zombie-zilla (now dubbed Zom-zom) in the house, which she took pity on for being bound and chained. Yuki and Meimi start cleaning up the house after containing Zom-zom.

Junko and Ping talk in a cafe, Ping manages to finally explain to Junko, that she is a robot, designed for playing 'pure' love and relationship sim games.

Yuki and Meimi have finished cleaning up after Zom-zom, Asako and Mami arrive to study with Yuki.

Ping and Junko leave the cafe, Ping tells Junko about Miho's phone she found in the trash; Junko is aggravated by the seemingly repeated 'Miho stunt' that Miho keeps on pulling off on others; Junko suggests Ping to explore the 'wonders of social web' and to post Miho's photos and videos she made while staying with Miho, to the internet forums, social networks and video sites.

Yuki tries on to study with Asako and Mami, but Asako keeps being distracted by Yuki's earlier remark about the desire to do something more 'romantic'. Finally Mami reveals to Yuki that everybody knew for years, who Yuki's 'secret admirer' is. When Asako and Mami leave, Yuki discovers that Zom-zom ate her phone.

Yuki and Yutaka talk on the phone about her being a magical girl, and then about their ongoing search for Miho. Yutaka reveals to Yuki that just recently, user know by SEVS-44936 handle (that is Ping's handle) has posted photos and videos of Miho to the net.

Largo and Erika walk towards the Sonoda residence, Largo tries to change the subject when Erika wants to learn as to why Junko apologized to him so much.

Yuki and Yutaka find the geotags of where the photos of Miho were taken, which point to the Cave of Evil. During dinner, Yuki repeatedly uses her power of speed to run to her room and chat with Yutaka, and decides that she wants to go there. While Largo lets her borrow his cell phone, and deliberately sets his clothing on fire to distract the family, Yuki sets off.

Meanwhile Kimiko and Piro are working on his portfolio, with the members of NPC evidently 'assisting', which prompts Piro to call Largo. Yuki takes the call, reveals to Piro the presence of Miho's 'embarrassing photos' posted by Ping.

Piro, in panic, reveals existence of Miho's photos on his own old laptop, to both Kimiko and Yuki. Kimiko asks him to reveal what is it about his and Miho's history, which he does - while Yuki listens too, hidden in the merchandise. Piro relays the events of the Endgames story that led to exposing Miho as the perpetrator subsequently banned for hacking, while revealing the extent of his emotional engagement with Miho, and how he got hurt in the end.

Yuki departs for the Cave of Evil, thinking, that Piro is still in love with Miho. Kimiko departs for the train station but then decides to use her free Cave of Evil pass and find out what is going on with Miho. Largo and Erika also decide to go to the Cave of Evil.

On arrival, Yuki is intercepted by the bouncers and reunited with Yutaka, who has been caught earlier. Yuki and Yutaka manage to boot up Piro's laptop, where Yuki reads the chat logs of conversations between Piro and Miho.

Largo and Erika use Erika's 'power of fame' to enter the club without waiting in line.

Looking at the online response to Ping's postings, Junko realizes that one of the replies belongs to her own father, and decides to confront him in the Cave of Evil.

The bouncers order Yuki and Yutaka to sit in the office, while they observe how the situation with Erika, Largo, Ping and Kimiko develops. Dom attempts to convince Erika and Kimiko again to join his company, while Ed starts to hunt Ping.

Yuki decides to go off and find Miho at the Analog Support Facility. While Yuki tries to talk to Miho about her and Piro's feelings, Miho taunts Yuki and causes her to drag Miho to the Cave of Evil, into view of all people who know Miho.

In the chaos that ensues, Ibara senior (Junko's father) neutralizes Ed with his Wii remote and Tetris weapon, and Largo blows up the club to facilitate everybody's escape.

Piro decides to go to the ASF only to find Miho's room empty with signs of physical struggle. Largo and Erika continue their journey by train, having seen Miho go off, seemingly in direction of her home. Miho, seeing the fans surrounding the building, turns around and goes off in a different direction.
